Calculating Totals
[edit]| Item | Source / Formula | |
|---|---|---|
| ❶ | Candidates | List candidates in order used in official list (e.g. http://wemakevotingeasy.ca/en/electoral-districts/059-oak-ridges-markham.aspx) List election results in descending order of number of votes (i.e. Winner first) |
| ❷ | Votes | From Summary of valid ballots by candidate report elections.ca, elections.ab.ca, www.elections.gov.nl.ca, elections.on.ca |
| ❸ | % | ❷ ÷ ❼ × 100 rounded to 2 decimal places |
| ❹ | ∆% | current ❸ − previous ❸ Note: A ⃝ For ① & ②, if Party (or same Independent candidate) didn't run last time, use " "; if ❸ unchanged from previous, use "– " (– )A ⃝ — Occasionally column ❹ does not balance due to rounding errors. Check if: ( ∑❹ + numbers in ❸ where ❹ is blank (i.e. new candidates) − previous ❸ that didn't run this time ) ≠ 0 If there are rounding issues (i.e. above totals ±0.01/±0.02) then recalculate each ❹ without rounding errors using the formula: ( ( previous ❷ ÷ previous ❼ ) − ( current ❷ ÷ current ❼ ) ) × 100 then rounded to 2 decimals |
| ❺ | Expenditures | From Candidate Campaign Returns - CR-1, individual candidate Financial Statements, financial summary reports (by party/candidate) (or other similar late stage reports) – might be published a year after the election — Until expenditure figures are published, avoid including the blank column in tables. |
| ❻ | Totals caption | Add suffix "/Expense limit" if "|expenditures=yes" in CANelec/top (causing "Expenditures" column to be displayed)
|
| ❼ | Total Votes | ∑❷ = Balance in Statistical Summary |
| ❽ | Total % | ∑❸ = 100.0 – Note it's "{{nowrap|100.0 }}" not "100.00" because .0 vs .00 solves occasional rounding issues & " " aligns decimals
|
| ❾ | Total ∆% | ( current ❼ − previous ❼ ) ÷ previous ❼ × 100 — +Increase /−Decrease in number of (valid) votes cast |
| ❿ | Expense limit | Identified in Campaign Returns / Financial Statements and/or separate reports/statements of expense & contribution limits |
| ⓫ | Rejected Votes | ∑number of rejected, unmarked, & cancelled ballots from Statistical Summary |
| ⓬ | Rejected % | ⓫ ÷ ⓮ × 100 |
| ⓭ | Rejected ∆% | current ⓬ − previous ⓬ |
| ⓮ | Votes Turnout | = ❼ + ⓫ — matches Statistical Summary |
| ⓯ | % Turnout | ⓮ ÷ ⓱ × 100 matches Statistical Summary but calculate to 2 decimals |
| ⓰ | ∆% Turnout | current ⓯ − previous ⓯ |
| ⓱ | Eligible Votes | from Statistical Summary — Total number of names Registered + Revision |
| ⓲ | Eligible % | Blank (" ")
|
| ⓳ | Eligible ∆% | ( current ⓱ − previous ⓱ ) ÷ previous ⓱ × 100 — +Increase /−Decrease in number of eligible voters |
| ⓴ | Prelim | This note should be included until official results are published/updated in table. Use the parameter " prelim=yes" in the /source or /note templates or in the /top template to add this preformatted message.
